Dude your sample size is too small and it’s coming from people who have their shit together. Someone who’s already a doctor or a successful businessman understands the value of time and that understanding is one of the reasons for their success.
You’re not meeting a bunch of upper class spoiled African college kids who have no respect for an education because some of those kids failed out of school and never became doctors or successful business people. Also, I never claimed that 100% of my students were late. I think it was about 30% usually. But when I think about my East Asian students, only about 1% of them were ever late.
There is also the possibility that the low grade some got in my class woke them up to the fact that they need to learn how to respect other people time requirements.
I’m not claiming that disrespect for time is a genetic trait, it is not. How people relate to time is a largely a cultural trait. Are there some extremely lazy white people who don’t respect time? Yes and they are usually failures who you or I will never meet or work with.

What the hell is your point in all of this?
As I said dude. YES... there are cultural differences.
We don't need to spend a lot of time understanding them. Let people be who they are.
The differences are mostly superfiscal and don't matter.
As long as we all agree to follow the 10 commandments and golden rule.
Cultural differences can co-exist with each other no problem.
I don't care what mexican, asian or white people do culturally. As long as it doesn't intrude on my own personal space.
That's how it is for most people.
